CleanMyMac was actually pretty helpful this time. Could free up ~20 GB disk space and I'm thinking about offloading Xcode compile caches to an external drive. My disk space is heavily influenced by homebrew, software caches, dependencies and files regarding software. I have 5 GB documents in my Documents/Image folder, no videos at all and no music. Images very few. But I will see, next time I do a larger upgrade (maybe December) I will go for at least 1 TB space and 16 GB memory, whatever it will be.

I'm thinking about different scenarios right now. I could get a Raspberry Pi 5 and use it, and if I decide to switch back to macOS I could still use it as a device with GPIO pins for other stuff or for docker containers. Otherwise, a Mini PC could be potentially more powerful but then a laptop would be handy if I just want a device that I can carry into the backyard and use it there, so my MacBook could be stationary. It's a hard choice to be honest :D

Technically this would work for most parts but it's not beautiful

I'd like to experiment with the device first and if everything is running smoothly stay on the device or upgrade to a slightly more expensive device if it's not smooth. I'm a Mac user ever since and I have absolutely no experience with other computers (hardware).

** If I upgrade later on, I can still use the bought hardware as a home server, so I didn't waste money here

 

Hi, I'm currently on a MacBook Air M2 8/256 and I'm running out of disk space. System is too large. I love macOS but I'd love to try out something new, such as Fedora and maybe switch to Fedora long-term.

I want to buy any computer (specs don't matter) as long as it can smoothly run Brave Browser (10 to 20 tabs), VS Code, Terminal, Discord all in parallel on Fedora (preferred) or Ubuntu. The only requirement is that it's cheap, can be refurbished. I have no preference for arm64 or amd64

Budget: 150$.

If this is out of scope, please disregard my request

Imagine if it lands and becomes an ULO and someone steals it, it will become a USO.

Can confirm this.

The trail was a single line, not multiple dots though. I asked someone nearby, and the person confirmed he can see it as well.

I'll probably not get an answer what it was but maybe other people have seen this. :)

 

Howdy,

A few hours ago, I was smoking a cigarette outside and looking up at the sky. Suddenly, I saw something that looked like this:

· –––––--

A small glowing dot (like a plane light) and a glowing trail

(from the looks of it, it wasn't a meteor)

It moved with the speed of a plane from right to the left.

Maybe Starlink?

I could have checked my ADS-B monitoring for planes but I haven't set that up outside :/ my antenna is also small.
